are the ports gigabit or just fast ethernet?

I'm pretty sure they are just 100Mb ethernet. The single port bridge connects to my router at that speed. 100Mb is fast enough to stream to and between my TiVo boxes.

The LAN interface on my TD-8816 is connected to a 1GbE switch. The negotiated link speed is 100Mbps, which is >10x faster than the link speed of my ADSL service.

I'm not positive. The manufacturer is a bit cagey, merely listing the ports as "high, medium and low" without stating the actual bandwidth. I believe the switch has two 1 Gbs ports, four 100 Mbs ports and two 10 Mbs ports.

The setup that is being used here currently does not use PoE. (was purchased to upgrade/replace an old switch) We have verified that the connections are capable of the 1000MB/S with our farthest workstation showing throughput of 856MB/s to and from the server. Ours was new. (not refurbed) Has been flawless since integration.

It has 4+1(this one for WAN) gigabit ports on the back, you can check the 360º view on asus website: http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC56U/#overview

It has two Realtek Gigabit NICs on board for the wired ethernet, see below.02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c)additionally you can install an optional mini PCIe wifi card (needs an optional antenna/cable set).

Cat5 cable will support speeds up to 100 Mbps, while Cat6 cable supports Gigabit (1Gbps) ethernet speeds. Note that Cat5e (Enhanced) will also support Gigabit ethernet as well.

I haven't disassembled the cable, but it does seem stiffer than Cat 5 cable, I think because of the plastic part in the middle that separates the wires. Yes, it works fine for a gigabit connection.

10/100 if your looking for gigabit local lan use a gigabit router in tandem

Yes, Gigabit ethernet is supported. The on-board network connector supports 10/100/1000Mbps connection speeds. 1000Mbps is equal to 1 gigabit per second, thus the term "Gigabit ethernet". Of course you should have a Gigabit Router\Switch and CAT5e or CAT6 cables to get the best speeds between your other LAN PCs. Your network is only as fast as the slowest device... or "weakest link".

Almost the same thing. The GL model is gigabit on each port versus 10/100 in the non-GL. Also more RAM and higher CPU speed if I recall correctly. There are other smaller differences as well, but these are the too areas that I usually utilize the GL model over the non-GL model for.

All ports are gigabit, but the manufacturer is being cagey by omitting throughput statistics. The best 8-port gigabit switches have a maximum throughput of 16 Gbs, and you will see that spec stated on lots of good switches. Since WD had a chance to specify throughput on its specs page and didn't do so, it would not be safe to assume that this switch offers maximum possible throughput.

It is 1GB port switch. I have 3 Desktop connected to this switch and all shows link speed 1.0G with full duplex. This switch is connected to 1Gb main access switch in server room.

The only reason I can possibly think they different QoS ports would be needed is if you have a VoIP data running through this switch and at any given time all the ports exceed 1 gigabit/sec. That being said, it's very unlikely that as a home user you won't need to worry about such a thing. If you want to be safe though, just use the high priority to your router as that is where all traffic is truncated to. It's more of a sales gimmick but for 8 ports at this price, it's a neat added bonus.

The three Ethernet links can each handle 1 million packets per second. Each port is 1gbps so they can handle 1000mbps full duplex.

Gigabit is pointless Unless you have a hundred high speed computers all hooked up to it trying to download a massive amount of data at once. In most instances, 10MB is plenty fast for data transfer. 100MB is even overkill. Your computer couldn't even process that much information per second unless you have an insane fast computer with high speed SSD drives. Or you're trying to stream 4K video in a hotel room, for some reason. If you find a Marriott with 4K tv's in the room - let me know.

According to the Specs "The E1200 features four Fast Ethernet ports". To my understanding that is 10/100 not the Gigabit speed.
